IMPROVEMENT ID'VN IRION-HEATING ATTACHMENTS FOR STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,526, dated February 15, 1876; application tiled January 22, 1876.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, EDWIN G. ADAMS, of Cohoes, in the county of Albany and State 'of-New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Iron-Heating Attachment for Stoves, of which the following is a specification: l

`Figure 1 is a vertical crossesection of my improved device taken through the line fr, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same taken through the line y y, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference'indicate correL sponding parts.

lThe object of this invention is to furnish an improved attachment for stoves for heating soldering-irons kand other irons, which is designed especially for oil-burning stoves, but may be used with advantage with stoves burning other fuel, and which shall vbe simple in construction, convenient in use, and .eiiective in operation, heating the irons quickly and without soiling them.

The inventionconsists in the casing made` with a flaring lower part and a contracted upper part, and provided with a'box or. heating-chamber made close' except its forward end, and with a smoke-pipe to adapt it to be placed over the fre-boxof an oil'or other stove; and in the cap made larger than the pipe having its lower end connected with the pipe by a ring-plate, and having its closed upper end perforated without the sides of the said pipe, in combination with the pipe and case, as hereinafter fully described.

A represents the body or casing of the device, which should be made wider than the iron to be heated, and the sides of its lower end are inclined outward so as to cover the i re-box of` the stove overy which it is placed.

In the upper part of the case Al is formed a chamber, B, made with closed bottom, top, sides, and inner end, and with its front end open. The chamber B is made square when designed for heating soldering-irons', triangular when designed for heating sad-irons, or

any' other shape that the shape of the iron to be heated may require.

' The upper part ofthe sides of the casing A are inclined inward to throw the ame and other heated and around the box B. The products of colnbustion escape through the long narrow opening at the topot' the casing, and pass up into a pipe, C, which may be connected directly with the top of the casing A, or with a casing D inclosing the tapered upper part of said casing A, and forming a smoke-chamber. The upper end of the pipe C is covered with a cap, E, the closed upper end of which is a little above the top ot' the pipe C. The cap E is made larger than the pipe C, and its lower end is connected with the said pipe C by a ring-plate, thus forming a ring smoke-chamber all around the upper end of theV pipe C. The smoke escapes through holes in the top of the cap E over-the ring-chamber of the said cap. By this construction, should a blast of vair strike the cap E it will cushion itself upon the air in the ring-chamber of the said cap E, and will not blow into the pipe C to impede the draft, but will rather increase the draft. The draft being admitted Vat the front of the stove the dame will incline to the rearward,

so that its greatest heat will be around the inner part of the chamber B, where the point of the soldering-iron is and where the greatest heat is required.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byV Letters Patent- 1. .The casing A made with a flaring lower part and a contracted upper part, and provided with a box, B, made close except its forward end, and with a smoke-pipe, C, to Yadapt it to be placed over the tire-box of an oil or other stove, substantially as herein shown and described.

' 2. The cap E made larger than the pipe C, having its lower end connected with the pipe G by a ring-plate, and having its closed upper end perforated without the sides of the said' vpipe C, in combination with the pipe O and case A, substantially as herein shown and described.
